37 Pounds of Cocaine Hidden in Banana Shipment - And Now U Know

SPAIN - By now, we should all be familiar with the tired attempts to smuggle drugs hidden amongst fresh produce shipments. This week, though, we got word of a new drug smuggling strategy. And while no produce was harmed in the heist, the perpetrators did their best to use bananas as a scapegoat. That’s right. These smugglers used fake bananas in an attempt to smuggle roughly 37 pounds of cocaine.

According to Stock Daily Dish, Spanish officials seized the illicit substance during an operation in the coastal cities of Malaga and Valencia. All in all, police discovered 57 fake bananas stuffed with about 15 pounds of cocaine, which were unsuccessfully hidden among real bananas. An additional 22 pounds were found within cardboard boxes that accompanied the shipment.

Fortunately, the smugglers were met with justice as two were detained on the basis of drug trafficking and a third individual is now under investigation in relation to the operation. Another day, another crime against our fruits and veg is put to rest. For more stories of produce triumphing over drugs, keep reading us at AndNowUKnow.
